Abstract: A pulse detonation device (10) for dividing a pulse detonation shock wave into an primary and control portion to reduce the strength of a propagating shock wave and/or change its direction. The device (10) contains a flow separator (14) which directs a portion of the shock wave into itself, thus reducing the shock wave's strength. In one configuration, the control region (16) converges in cross-sectional area so as to accelerate the flow in the control region (16), while the primary region (18) diverges to slow the flow in the primary region (18). The flow in the control region (16) is directed, at an angle, into the flow of the primary region (18) to impede and/or redirect the flow of the primary region (18).
